Step 1 Prep Potatoes
Set up your work surface. To prevent a mess, lay out newspaper or kraft paper, then position watercolor paper in your desired size on top. For a circular shape, cut potato in half using serrated knife. Cut in half again for a half-circle shape, or trim to other desired stamp shapes. Use a small paint brush to cover cut side of potato with a generous amount of crafts paint.
Step 2 Stamp and Repeat
Press firmly onto watercolor paper and lift. Repeat across entire sheet, using varying paint colors and consistency. Set aside to dry.
